Union des Femmes Monégasques

Union des Femmes Monégasques (UFM), is a women's organization in Monaco, founded in 1958.

UFM was the first women's organization in Monaco. The women's movement developed late in Monaco. Women's suffrage had been suggested by a male politician in 1919, at a time period, when married women where still legal minors, but there had been no organized women's movement in Monaco.

UFM was founded in 1958. The organization supported the introduction of women's suffrage in Monaco from its foundation.[1]

Women's suffrage and basic rights was included in the reform package introduced in Monaco in 1962.[1]
